Best Deal out there imho (when on sale)
on December 26, 2020
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
4.5 Stars. I've been looking to build or buy a Gaming PC that will last a long time (so also wanted brand name HP, Dell, etc) and this gem went on sale (Paid $1k out the door with taxes) and it's a BEAST. Great CPU, Video CCA, and the cool color changing effects are a real nice touch. The reason I docked 0.5 on stars is with 16 G ram (which is plenty) I still was hoping to at some point up'n to 32G ram, just by adding two more 8G sticks. Not the case, only 2 slots for ram, so I will have to take out the two 8 Sticks and put in a drawer forever and install two 16G sticks. But not a huge deal as 16 is more then efficient.

Connect multiple generations of devices with this Dynex midnight blue USB-C to USB adapter cable. Simultaneous charge and sync capabilities let you power up while backing up your data to a separate storage device. The 3-foot length of this Dynex midnight blue USB-C to USB adapter cable is long enough for convenient charging but short enough to transport easily.

Works Great, great price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchase a "lot" from online, but needed one now, so found these at BB and got them due to price. They perform great, I didn't give 5 stars as the material seems like it may not last really long, but it may, I won't know for sure. That is the only negative thing I can say about it. Recommend for bang/buck.

Great Bang for buck Printer
on July 15, 2019
Posted by: Todd
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall very good printer, satisfied, maybe a little slow on initial printing, but fair after that, but considering price, well worth the 4 star rating. I would give a 5 for workability/price/ease of install ....except, I never could get the Google Cloud Print to work. The point where you allow on printer, it goes back to previous screen when you accept, then eventually times out, and try again..........

Verified Purchase:Yes
Horrible, thought I'd give an OTA DVR a chance, been wanting to experiment with them, and the cost of this one on sale, I thought, you can't beat it. It took FOREVER for the auto channel find, then when you would switch a channel, in 1 second you would hear sound, then 3-5 seconds later the video would come in. I never could figure out the DVR part of it. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is terrible. Switching channels is terrible, and overall performance is terrible, this thing must have a single core ARM cpu in it, ugh!!! I cannot say anything good about it. DO NOT BUY!

Have your new car stereo installed neatly, reliably and professionally by a Geek Squad Autotech. Standard installation doesn~t include vehicle-specific parts or accessories. The cost of parts will vary for stereo installation. Such parts and any additional parts or extensive labor are extra. Your Geek Squad Autotech will provide an estimate prior to performing work that requires an additional charge (including nonstandard installation) and any additional parts. Any additional charges will be assessed after the installation is complete. For additional installation information for your vehicle, find a store with an installation center and speak with a Geek Squad Autotech.

Very good price for very decent sound
on March 12, 2019
Posted by: Todd
from Virginia, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just on sound quality alone, I would give this a 3; however, I purchased these at a CHEAP price so I assumed the sound quality would be sacrificed. I was please that it was not sacrificed much though; hence, the extra star "4" Very decent sound, not real rich bass, but overall pretty good for office wear, car, trips, etc, where you don't want to take your high end $300 headsets. If that is what you are looking for then these are it. Also for the kiddos that are hard on headsets, I'd rather buy them multiples of these than the pricey ones, as you know they are going to chew on the cords or spin them etc......

Enjoy smart access to videos, games and apps with this Amazon Fire TV stick. Its Alexa voice remote lets you deliver hands-free commands when you want to watch television or engage with other applications. With a quad-core processor, 1GB internal memory and 8GB of storage, this portable Amazon Fire TV stick works fast for buffer-free streaming.
 

I have a note 9 and TMobil phone service with free Netflix so I ordered the Amazon fire stick. Do I have to add another line and get a wifi box ? I currently have direct TV. But want to get rid of my high bill. Also tmobil had to give me a booster to get

No you don't have to get another line, you can sign in to Netflix acct (same one) on the firestick. If you are asking about internet to the firestick, you can hotspot your phone (which shares your phones 4G but acts like a router) But I would only suggest that if you have unlimited or monitor you bandwidth usage. Also, if that's the case or if you have DSL or Cable only internet such as I, we too go tired of DTV high bills and got 4 firesticks and Playstation VUE which is $45 up depending on package, plus we had Amazon prime for shipping purposes, so there was that, then added Netflix, and our bill is still half of DTV's was So research VUE also, but you should be fine with Netflix question.

Power multiple gadgets with this five-port Anker PowerPort USB hub. Its two Quick Charge 3.0 ports charge devices up to four times faster than previous-generation USB ports, and its MultiProtect system shields you from power surges and helps prevent short circuits. The PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies of this Anker PowerPort USB hub optimize charging speed for non-Quick Charge devices.
 

Sounding stupid here but is that what I want to add usb ports to my computer. I recently bought a all in one HP (yeah, I already know!) and it needs more usb ports. Will it plug into the wall and into the computer? Thanks for your help.

Aman is correct, this product is for charging only. What your are looking for is a USB Hub. Here is a link to one at BB. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-4-port-usb-3-0-hub-black/4333600.p?skuId=4333600

What is the length of the cord?

The specs do not really tell you, but I recall mine reaching from the floor to the top of my child's dresser which is above 3ft So I'd say 3 to 3.5 ft

Experience the bigger, clearer picture when you upgrade your home theater setup with the STR-DH590. The 5.2ch AV receiver brings movies to life with 4K HDR pass-through, Dolby Vision and flexible surround sound. Bring all your devices together with BLUETOOTH connectivity and multiple inputs.
 

What are the watts per channel of this receiver. It says 145 watts power but does it use less per channel. I need it for a hard wired Bose accoustmass 10 home theater which can take only 100 w per channel

This is really a common sense question to be honest. I'm not trying to come across the wrong way, but it's easier for me to put it in simple terms. Most of my speakers have always handle less per channel than the unit that drives it. In your case 145W out, but your speaker only handles 100W ? If I understand you. Here's the deal. NEVER in my life have I ever maxed out the volume on a stereo head unit EVER! You stated you have BOSE which is GREAT speakers, I have Klipsch, also great. Let me tell you, running my volume to 1/4th the way will be more than most people can handle; hence I will never see 145W per channel. If I took mine to half volume, I would literally blow out my windows. Now I have "maxed" out car stereos before and when they reach a certain point there is distortion, this is the point where the speaker cannot handle the power now more, back it down or blow the speaker. It really is that simple. This unit should be just fine for you. And if you ever get to half volume, your speakers will be fine, but your neighbors my not LOL

Is this receiver network ready

It is not "Network Ready" as in no Wifi or NIC/RJ45 (No internet) but it does have Bluetooth with easy pairing to your devices such as your cell phone, I play may Amazon Prime via my Cell phone all the time #JamOut.

Will I be able to play my vcr through this unit ? Thank you.

Only if your VCR has an HDMI output. Or you only want the Audio from your VCR to play through the Sony Receiver, with the Video going straight to the TV. The Sony Receiver only has HDMI inputs (4) with one output. (HDMI does both video and audio) and/or it has 4 (RCA type audio only inputs), 1 RCA type digital audio only input, and 1 optical audio only input. I hope I didn't get too technical for you. (Non technical version: If you have an old VCR probably not, if you have a fancy new VCR, then probably, or if you know how to hook up RCA video to the TV, and the RCA audio to the Sony Receiver)

Document road trips with this Insignia dash cam. It records in 1080p HD resolution to capture even the smallest details, and the 130-degree wide angle lens lets you view more of the road so you don't miss anything. This Insignia dash cam has a memory card slot to save footage for later viewing.
 

Can I record live on Facebook?

I would say "NO" but being a tech guru myself, I could probably link it up to a usb then to a PC and "make it happen" but without doing backflips and standing on your head and a few chicken sacrifices.......No. Video has to be recorded, then taken from the SDCARD to upload. There is no stream.
